 Youth are often overlooked in medical research, so it's important to include them in the process. Mayo Clinic created a pediatric advisory board, PAB, to ensure their voices are heard and provide valuable insight into how to best reach out to young people for research purposes. The PAB meets regularly to discuss topics such as mental health, recruitment strategies and materials used in studies. This board has been successful in encouraging youth participation in research and promoting engagement in pediatric medicine.
